Two other Championship matches — Derby County’s 3-2 win over Yeovil and Reading’s 5-1 win over Blackpool — featured on Mr Dewhurst’s accumulator.

The remaining winning choices were victories for Swansea, Wolves, Chesterfield, Manchester United and Real Madrid, as well as a draw between Norwich and Newcastle.

There is no suggestion Mr Dewhurst attempted to influence the outcome of the match — which Wanderers lost 2-1, their third straight league defeat — in any way.

His status said: “Derby County, 0-2 down at home to Yeovil, come back to win 3-2 in the last min to win me £230 for my accumulator!! Buzzing!!”

The FA’s latest guide to betting states that their strict rules — brought in in 2012 in response to various gambling scandals — apply to players, managers, coaches, club medical staff, other club employees and staff, directors and licensed agents.

I agree , unbelievable that this chaps basically been forced to resign.
Obviously if a Manager or Player bets the team to lose this is serious because they can have a bearing on the result and they should be sacked.

However someone so low down the chain shouldn`t be punished like he has .
A warning would have sufficed.
If there had been any malice in his betting i am pretty sure he would have place a much larger bet on the match alone and not just part of a pretty measley accumalator.
Also , i have been a season ticket holder for thirty years and i have bet against Bolton most matches this season. i hoped i would have lost money and didn`t want to win but unfortunately i did.

Yes it does look harsh doesn't it, BUT : 1) it's against the rules, 2) he's publicised the "offence" on social media and 3) it really doesn't look good to the fans when a BWFC employee effectively bets on the team losing - it's a PR disaster.

there really is nobody else to blame for this. its against the rules of the game and he would have known that. I don't see what the club have done wrong, he resigned from his post. it was the only option open to him really. i think that people just love to have a pop at BWFC. i'm not surprised the players don't give a hoot when the support is so bad. a few weeks ago it took just 54 seconds of a match before i heard the first boo. 54 seconds!

It illustrates the perils and pitfalls of social media. This unfortunate lad is not the first and won't be the last to be impaled on their own posting.

It's most likely that a reader of social media spotted this and sent it into the BN and it is a public interest story that a BWFC employee is betting against the performance of the team. The article is true and verified. There is no reason why the BN should not publish it, which applies to anyone associated with a profile entity.

There is also a personal responsibility issue here which should not be ignored. Yes it is sad. Yes it is a learning experience. No it should not be censored.

And the press should not be censored - that is a key basis of freedom of speech and democracy.
